Students are extremely excited about the new equipment supplied to the Jackson Heights Ag shop. Thanks to Frontier Farm Credit, students now have upgraded welding helmets, a variety of sizes of welding jackets to utilize, welding gloves, a new welding helmet with a respirator, and a few other tools that will help the students complete their welding projects seamlessly. Most recently students hand-crafted a gate for Mr. Baldridge’s petting zoo. Thank you Frontier for the generous donation.

The Kansas Legislature passed a new law requiring public schools to hold nine crisis drills starting with this school year. This new law also reduced the number of fire drills from nine to four and kept the number of tornado drills at three each year. The crisis drills will take on different forms and will look different at both buildings. The crisis drills will also involve the entire staff and student body and USD 335 will be partnering with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office for some of the drills. The law states that prior notice is not to be given except short notice to teachers. We will work with our students on what to expect and what to do during each of these drills. Our hope is to minimize any sort of emotional reaction so that these drills become just as normal as a fire drill. Parents will receive a Bright Arrow notification on the day a drill occurs. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the principal at your child’s school.
